Bikini crew on Leder love boat
MARC J. Leder, aka “the Hugh Hefner of the Hamptons,” has chartered a cruise ship and packed it with unnaturally beautiful women for a jaunt to one of the world’s most outstanding sites of natural beauty, the Galápagos Islands.
Page Six’s favorite partyloving privateequity titan, famed for his Hamptons and Miami bacchanals, has set sail with 100 friends after chartering the 290foot ship Silver Galapagos.
Guests on Leder’s luxurious launch — which boasts numerous private suites, a crew of 75, an ondeck Jacuzzi, piano bar, massage room and beauty salon — include “Real Housewives” Bethenny Frankel, Carole Radziwill and Lisa Hochstein, designer Rachel Roy, socialite Hofit Golan and Kenneth Cole exec Kara Council. Also onboard: Tiki Barber with wife Traci Lynn Johnson and “Dr. Doom” economist Nouriel Roubini.
Guests have been enjoying earlymorning nature hikes, zodiac tours, and snorkeling with penguins and sea lions, all while posting bikini pictures of themselves tagged #SSLEDER on social media.
Frankel has been posting revealing pictures of herself doing yoga ondeck in a skimpy bikini. Perhaps alluding to her divorce from Jason Hoppy, and their continuing fight over money, she added a shot of a sleeping sea lion and wrote, “The male sea lion lays around while the female provides. Hmmm... .#isuckatrelationships”
Golan posted a picture of herself and 11 other bi kini babes and wrote, “Here come the #girls! You know you’re lucky when your dear friend charters an entire crew ship [sic] and you get to share an incredible experience with 100 good friends.”
Divorced Sun Capital founder Leder, said to have a net worth of more than $400 million, is also famed for helping demolish Mitt Romney’s presidential hopes. It was at Leder’s Florida home in 2012 where Romney made his infamous “47 percent” comment.
Leder has a new $20 million estate in Sagaponack and has applied for permits to throw parties this summer. In a move that will upset his posh neighbors, his July 4 bash was approved by the village. His rep didn’t comment.
